We landed in Bali about 8p on Wednesday night, had an easy trip through immigration and customs, and were met by a driver from our rental unit. It was about an hour ride home and he was playing some great cheesey pop songs. How had I never heard this before?
We’re staying the first week in Canggu, a beach town on the south side of the island far from the volcano. We’ve caught some nice sunsets here.
A nice gecko joined us for dinner a couple of nights ago but he (she?) needs to do a better job. Too many moths flying around that place.
We hired a driver recommended by a friend and toured some of the island yesterday. The first stop was a temple in Denpasar.
That was followed by a temple on a lake that’s at a high elevation. The lake provides fresh water for many of the seemingly endless rice paddies on the island.
Speaking of rice paddies, our last stop was a late lunch followed by a walk through terraced rice paddies.
We got caught in some rain showers along the way. I took this from a hut where we covered up while it came down pretty hard.
Christmas Day has been rainy most of the way, but it’s cleared up a bit, so I guess we’re off for a drink, a sunset, and some dinner. Merry Christmas!
